Taroha finishes his second milk bottle – and walks away with it clasped in his trunk. When a Keeper tries to retrieve it, he runs. He arrived at the Nursery via a JCB bucket, an overnight stop at Voi, and a flight. Quite the journey for a calf: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/taroha

One week with Bumpy! Like any baby, he sleeps deeply and often – especially snuggled up to his Keeper, with a tummy full of milk. Rescued last weekend after his mother died in a te...

When an orphaned elephant loses their mother, we step in to offer hope and a family. Kaikai, rescued as a newborn, wanted constant physical touch and to know she was at the centre...

Ndotto was the tiniest elephant we had ever seen. In August 2014, herdsmen discovered a newborn calf sheltering amongst their goats and sheep. The resourceful little orphan inserted himself into the nearest group of similarly sized creatures. Twelve years on, Ndotto is now leading a wild life.
The youngest member of the Kaluku herd, Kaikai approaches every day with the energy of a tiny force of nature – her Keepers describe her as quick-witted, curious, and utterly convinced she is the centre of the universe. Rescued days old from the Mara. sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/kaikai
Lenny, Sulwe, and Zigi — born to ex-orphans Lima Lima, Sonje, and Zongoloni in the last 15 months. The rains have arrived. This is their second green season. The Kibwezi Forest looks very different to last month — and they are making the most of it. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/keepers-diar...
The humble tyre: a perennial favourite. Korbessa waddles, wiggles, flips and kicks hers for hours. When she was younger, she'd play until she fell asleep against it. At two, she's also the one the Kaluku herd follows. sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/korbessa
Throwback to Tytan's first 24 hours. After his mother fell off a cliff, the seven-month-old made it to her body, then disappeared. Rangers, aircraft and drones searched. He was wild-eyed and wary – until scratches won him over and he leaned in. Hands up – which rescue stories have stayed with you?
Early this week, ex-orphan Melia returned to introduce a brand new baby girl to Head Keeper Benjamin and the rest of the Ithumba team. Moon, as we've named her, is Melia's second baby. She is a lovely little elephant, bold and brimming with character. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/calves
Finding one injured buffalo in a herd is like a needle in a haystack. Our pilot, already on patrol, circled above and located him – a wire snare cutting deep into his neck. Anti-Poaching Team on the ground. All systems go. Full story: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates...
Ten years ago, Umani Springs didn't exist. Now its first orphans are having babies of their own. Lenny, Sulwe and Zigi are the latest arrivals. King of the forest and all. Meet our extended elephant family: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/calves
Serenget arrived with a bullet wound and a prognosis nobody wanted. Prescribed bed rest, she hid in the corner of her stockade at first. Then — slowly — a step forward. An extended trunk. And soon, everyone was finding a reason to linger at her gate. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/sere...
Quanza's mother and two sisters were gunned down by poachers in 2012. She came to us deeply traumatised. For years, she kept herself to herself. Now she is one of our finest leaders. Healing cannot be rushed. Her story: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/quanza
